Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, J. H. Beers, 1905, pp. 344-345:
...
Mr. Palmer is of loyal English ancestry. His grandfather, David Palmer, a man true to his convictions, was born in England... He married during his early manhood and to him and his wife were born eight children: Jonathan, John (who is mentioned below), Jesse, David, Nathaniel, Deborah, Elizabeth and Mary. After his son John had pushed westward and found desirable land in the County of Lambton Mr. Palmer, in 1836, followed, bringing the remaining members of his family with him, and purchased 300 acres in Concessions 5 and 6, along the Sydenham river front, in Sombra township. There he resided for about eleven years, dying there in 1847.
John Palmer, father of Reuben C., inherited his father's aggressive powers and taste for agricultural pursuits. Born near Hamilton in 1807, he was reared on his father's farm there. In 1834, a young man of twenty-seven, he married and at once removed west, settling in the County of Lambton, and there, in Sombra township, on Lot 11, Concession 6, secured a tract of land and engaged in farming for himself. After his father's arrival, however, and large land purchase in that vicinity, the son exchanged his 100-acre tract in Lot 11 for seventy-five acres of the elder Mr. Palmer's property, along the river front. On this new land, embracing parts of Lots 12 and 13, Concession 6, Mr. Palmer settled and began work. A marvel of industry, it was but a short time before he had transformed the wild waste into a neat and well cultivated farm. Here he spent the rest of his life, dying there in 1866. During his young manhood Mr. Palmer married Hannah Keating, a good Christian woman, of refinement, who died in 1841. By this union there were three children: Mary Ann died at the age of eighteen years, and Isaac at the age of two years. Reuben C. is mentioned below. Mr. Palmer, attacking every duty with energy and determination, was not a man to know failure. Reared in the Methodist faith, he was a substantial member of that church for many years. He and his father affliated with the Conservatives in politics.
